Fudge 44
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Fudge 44 (2006) is the second feature film from Irish director Graham Jones. It is a mockumentary about six puppets in a financially impoverished Tokyo children's puppet theatre who, locals believe, came to life and robbed a nearby bank to avoid being put out of business.
The Irish premiere took place on June 24, 2006 at the 7th International Darklight Festival, the Canadian premiere at RHIFF in Toronto on June 20 where it won an experimental award, and the World Premiere at The Delray Beach Film Festival in Florida on March 10.
It was suggested by some that the shooting technique adopted by Jones, which involved falsely translating Japanese interviewees, flew in the face of journalistic ethics or constituted Western patronisation of Eastern subject matter.
Jones is no stranger to controversy. In 1998 his first feature film How To Cheat In The Leaving Certificate caused uproar in Ireland and was condemned outright by then Junior Minister for Education Willie O'Dea.
